This year Wrocław’s Day of Kindness celebrates its 20th anniversary! To mark the occasion, the whole of November (5–28.11.2025) becomes a Month of Kindness and Support under the slogan “Find Yourself Among the Kind”. It is a special opportunity to highlight the importance of kindness in everyday life, build mutual support and promote care for the mental health of the city’s residents.
This year’s slogan encourages us to share kindness in many forms – through a word, a smile, support or by talking about our own experiences. November becomes a time for conversations about emotions, mutual understanding and supporting one another through difficult moments.
The programme includes a wide range of activities – workshops, meetings, concerts, performances, urban games and artistic initiatives designed to strengthen social bonds and improve the quality of life of Wrocław’s residents. Highlights include a kindness mural, a kindness bench, a free show for children at the Opera, a concert at Sztuka na Miejscu and a meeting with Joanna Flis at Bar Barbara.
